Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Am I completely liable for my wifes debt? She has many credit cards maxed out and has used loans which have depleted our savings. She has re- financed our home without my signture. She is a hoarder of antiques, jewelry and art. She makes over 100K a year and I only make 58k. Will I have to bear this burden by myself? Even our income tax checks have been cashed without my signature. Will I be the one to bear this burden if I leave her?

There's no way to answer you because you haven't said if you're on the debts also.

Additionally, her action with the tax check is a felony. However, if you failed at the time to have her arrested, you have in essence consented to the crime and probably can't pursue it.

Since you omitted the details, there's no way to answer you. You do need to sit down with a lawyer.
